And the Oscar goes to ....

I have (again) won the "Max Oscar Arnold Kunstpreis" (art price) for dolls in Neustadt bei Coburg in the category "miniature doll". And here is the doll I sent in:

Like last year the doll artists were treated to a nice evening with the first and third mayor of the town giving us our Oscar's, speeches, music and a buffet. There was some local politician attending and I don't know how many journalists.
Here is the official photo for the newspapers. This time they were counting us before they took the photo. I'm not sure if it was because last year I was late for the official photo ...how embarrassing... lol.

And here a collection of other participants and winners in different categories:

Unfortunately, there are fewer doll artists participating year after year.
So, if you are a doll artist, do participate! You can send your dolls in (they really take very good care of them) but you have to be able to get to Germany in May (in case you win). It is definitely worth it. The whole area is famous for their doll and toy industry. The whole week is full of events around dolls/toy's. There are three Toy and Doll Museums within 15 minutes, a lot of companies like Goebel (Hummel) open their outlet stores. You can mingle with like minded people ...
But more of this in my next post.

Christine, this is Wonderful!!!! I am thrilled for you. It is a "good" pride to feel so happy when honored this way. I truly hope that your heart is smiling today!!!!grinI wish you had said which one is YOU on the picture. It is sonics to meet face to face with the artist...grinA big war hug on your way.....smiles
